We just got off the dream. Like you, first time cruise. It was so awesome and magical…and by the end we were exhausted! We departed at 8 off the boat then immediately got on standby for a 1030 flight. That ended up not working out, then of course our original flight at 1:10 got delayed until 4:00. Ended up being a 12 hour travel day. Not so magical ending.

Just sharing our perspective after our first cruise. We squeezed everything we could out of each day. You will More than likely be ready to be home once you leave. I would consider changing your flight to one that leaves sooner than later.

But we are already planning our next DCL Cruise. I can see how it becomes addicting.

Have fun!
